BMX Bandit in Fadden Pines!

ACT Policing is seeking witnesses after a 15-year-old teenager and 11-year-old child were confronted by a male teenager armed with a pocketknife in Fadden Pines parkland on Saturday afternoon (August 18).

Around 4pm on Saturday, the two victims were jogging through Fadden Pines when they were approached by a male teenager riding a BMX.

The teenage offender on the BMX produced a small pocket knife from his pocket and made demands for money. The victims emptied their pockets, and when no money was found, the offender rode off.

He was wearing a black puffy jacket with fur lining in the hood, black track pants and a black flat brim baseball cap. At the time of the incident, he was riding a BMX bike with orange spokes.
